E-Safety

Welcome to the E-Safety page. It is very important to be aware of the importance of online safety and to keep up to date with guidance and support which is provided through this web page. This will enable you to support your child whilst online and provide you with the latest support. 

The internet is an amazing resource which enables children and young people to connect, communicate and be creative in a number of different ways, on a number of different devices. However, the internet is ever-changing and being able to keep up to date with your child's use of technology can be a challenge. You may even feel that your child has better internet skills than you do; however children and young people still need advice and protection when it comes to managing their lives online. 

 
 

'What I wish my parents or carers knew…': a guide for parents and carers on children's digital lives (Children's Commissioner) 

The Children's Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, has published a guide to help parents and carers navigate the challenge of managing children's everyday online habits. Written with direct input from children and young people, including teenagers consulted in schools and the Commissioner's Youth Ambassadors. The guide is designed to make difficult conversations easier and more regular.

The guide covers setting boundaries around phone use, talking about harmful content, and building ongoing communication that goes beyond a one-off conversation.

Friday E-Safety discussions

At Reddal Hill we look and discuss different games and apps. We discuss if games are age appropriate by identifying the PEGI and discussing the potential online concerns that they contain. The children enjoy discussing their understanding about keeping safe online.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we live, learn, and interact—but it also brings new dangers, particularly for children. From AI-generated harmful content to manipulative chatbots, the risks are evolving just as quickly as the technology itself. As parents, it’s crucial to stay informed and take proactive steps to protect our children from AI-related dangers while helping them use technology responsibly. This video is guidance for parents about Artificial Intelligence. 

Find out what harms children and young people are being exposed to online with new generative AI (gen AI) tools which are now everywhere online! If you think 'my child wouldn't see these things', you may think again when you hear more. What's the harm?

At Reddal Hill we use the Senso monitoring system. The service is used to monitor student behaviour online, allowing teachers and safeguarding leads to monitor content that is being viewed or sent by students, either intentionally or by mistake. This is an instant monitoring system and provides protection for all. What Is Senso?
